Flexible bracelet



M. BARMACHE El AL Sept. 9, 1947 FLEXIBLE BRACELET Filed Oct. 25, 1945 INVENTORS." MICHEL BARMACHE BY GEORGEELEDERMAN A TTORNE the slot, but permitting movement of the pin from one end of this slot to the other.

Preferably, the formation of the head In is performed within the cavity 5 by means of a tool which is introduced into this cavity through that opening 6 which is opposite to the opening contacted by the member 2. The two interlocked members can turn relatively to each other. The length of the slot 8 provides for such a turning movement within limits sufiicient for flexible adaptation of the curvature of the bracelet.

After the first pair of members I and 2 have been connected in this manner, another member 2 is soldered or aifixed in any other suitable manner to the housing 4 of the first member I in a position where this other member 2 is inserted in the other opening 6 of this housing. Then, the pin 9 of this other member 2 is introduced into a slot 3 of a second member I and secured to this second member in the same manner as described before. Then additional members 2 and I are alternatingly added in the same manner until all members of the bracelet are assembled.

The members 2 may be hollow. Preferably, the members I and 2 are made of gold or any other suitable metal.

We desire it understood that our invention is not confined to the particular embodiment shown and described, the same being merely illustrative, and that our invention may be carried out in other ways without departing from the spirit of our invention as it is obvious that the particular embodiment shown and described is only one of the many that may be employed to attain the objects of our invention.

Having described the nature of our invention, what we claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

1. A bracelet or the like comprising a member having a cavity with an opening, a second member positioned adjacent to said opening, and interlocking means concealed in said cavity and comprising two movably connected parts, one of said parts being aifixed to said first and the other to said second member.

2. A bracelet or the like'comprising a member having a cavity with an opening, a second member contacting edges of said opening and rotatable relatively to said first member, and interlocking means concealed in said cavity and comprising two movably connected parts, one of said parts being affixed to said first and the other to said second member.

3. A bracelet or the like comprising a member having a cavity with a rectangular opening, a second member having a cylindrical shape of a length fitting the distance between two opposite edges of said opening and of a diameter larger then the distance between the two other opposite edges of said opening, said second member movably contacting the edges of said opening, and interlocking means concealed in said cavity and comprising two parts, one of said parts being affixed to said first and the other to said second member, said parts guiding each other along an arc having the same axis as said second member.

4. A bracelet or the like comprising a member having a cavity with an opening, a second member positioned adjacent to said opening, a slotted strip affixed to said first member in an inwardly curved position bridging over said opening, and a pin affixed to said second member, passing through the slot of said strip and having a head broader than said slot.

5. A bracelet or the like comprising a plurality of members of two difierent kinds, each member of the first kind having a, cavity with an opening, each member of the second kind having one side adjacent to said opening of one member of the first kind and having an opposite side aifixed to 3 another member of said first kind, and a plurality of interlocking means each concealed in one of said cavities and comprising two movably connected parts, one of these parts being affixed to the member containing said cavity and the other part to the adjacent member of said second kind.

6. A bracelet or the like comprising a plurality of members of two different types, each member of the first type having a cavity with two opposite openings, each member of the second type having two opposite sides adjacent to two of said openings belonging to difierent members of said first type, and being connected to said diiierent members, at least one of these two connections being movable and comprising interlocking means concealed in one of said cavities.

7. A bracelet or the like comprising a plurality of members of two diiierent kinds, each member of the first kind having a cavity with two opposite openings, each member of the second kind having two opposite sides contacting the edges of two of said openings belonging to different members of said first kind, one of said sides being affixed to the edges contacted by this side, the other side having a projection extending into the cavity situated beyond the edges contacted by the latter side, and a plurality of interlocking means, each positioned in one of said cavities and movably connecting the projection positioned in said cavity with the member containing said cavity.

8. A method for assembling a bracelet from a series of members, said method comprising introducing a projection of one of said members through an opening into a cavity of a second member, securing said projection to said second member within said cavity by means of a tool introduced through another opening into said cavity, closing said other opening with a third member, soldering said third member to said second member, introducing a projection of said third member into a cavity of a fourth member and so on until all members of the series are connected.
